Rebirth Of The Strongest Female Emperor Chapter 2761 (END) - Epilogue (4)

“Where… did you go? And why are you here now?”

A complex look filled Luo Xue's gaze as she stared at Ye Qingtang.

“Let’s leave first.” A smile appeared on Ye Qingtang’s face.

Luo Xue and You Yun were stunned.

Leave? They were trapped in the despair-filled land of the Ancient God Karma Tunnel. Escaping seemed utterly impossible.

Yet, astonishingly, with just a simple wave from Ye Qingtang, the hellish curse surrounding them vanished in an instant, transporting them back to the outer world.

Once they regained their composure, Luo Xue and You Yun discovered that Ye Qingtang had already disappeared completely, as though she had never been there.

Still, her words lingered vividly in their thoughts.

“I’ll give you three hundred years to cultivate your way to having a Perfected Immortal body. We will meet in the upper realm then…”

“Upper realm…”

You Yun whispered, her eyes fixed on the horizon.

...

...

The Netherworld Academy.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years flew by. The Netherworld Academy remained unchanged, exactly as it was before, untouched by the passage of time.

“Nangong Lie.”

Behind a man at the mountain's rear, Ye Qingtang suddenly appeared and lightly tapped his left shoulder.

Nangong Lie spun around on reflex.

Upon recognizing her, his pupils shrank dramatically, eyes flooding with shock and incredulity.

“You… you…” Nangong Lie shook uncontrollably while pointing at Ye Qingtang.

“You don’t recognize me anymore?” Ye Qingtang smiled faintly.

“Boss… Boss?!” Nangong Lie seized Ye Qingtang’s arm in excitement. “Is that you? Boss, is that really you?! Impossible, is this an illusion?!”

While talking, Nangong Lie smacked his own face.

“It’s not an illusion… Is it really you, Boss?!” Nangong Lie stammered in utter astonishment.

The white-robed youth next to Nangong Lie looked exactly the same despite the thousand years that had elapsed.

Soon enough, Yun Chen, Jing Ze, Qin Feng, Lei Yan, and the rest got word and hurried back to the Netherworld Academy.

Seeing Ye Qingtang left everyone in utter disbelief.

Ye Qingtang had vanished for a full thousand years. They had searched high and low for their mysterious teacher but found no leads at all.

Who could have imagined their boss would make a triumphant return to the Netherworld Academy after all that time?

“Where’s Mu Ziying?” Ye Qingtang scanned around but couldn’t spot Mu Ziying.

“Boss, Mu Ziying has gone back to the Puppet Emperor’s side. After all, she’s his granddaughter. She’s running things there now, so we don’t see her much anymore.” Lei Yan explained, eyes locked on Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang nodded slightly. “I see.”

“Boss, should we let Mu Ziying know? She’ll be over the moon and soar to the heavens if she hears you’re back!” Nangong Lie urged eagerly.

Ye Qingtang smiled. “Sure.”

On that very day, Lei Yan managed to send word to Mu Ziying. Just half a day later, Mu Ziying—who hadn’t aged much—rushed back to the Netherworld Academy.

The instant Mu Ziying laid eyes on Ye Qingtang, tears welled up in her eyes, and she threw her arms around her. “Boss, where did you go?!”

A gentle curve touched Ye Qingtang’s lips as she caressed Mu Ziying’s flowing hair. “Where I went doesn’t matter. What matters is we’re reunited now, right?”

“Yes, yes! Boss looks exactly the same. Like some ancient demon!” Lei Yan nodded vigorously.

Qin Feng and Mu Ziying shot fierce glares at Lei Yan.

Deep into the night, the teacher and her disciples gathered around a crackling fire, reminiscing about old times. Endless waves of laughter and delight filled the air, echoing eternally.

Several days afterward, Ye Qingtang slipped away silently from the Netherworld Academy, heading back to the upper realm.

Prior to departing, she secretly channeled divinity into Qin Feng and the others. They would reunite in the upper realm centuries from now.
